How Much Does a Houston Coffee Cart Cost?

If you’re planning an event in Houston — whether it’s a corporate gathering, wedding, teacher appreciation event, or a large conference — you’ve probably wondered: how much does coffee catering cost? The short answer is: it depends on the size logistics of your event. But, let’s break it down in a way that actually helps you compare options and see the true value.

Our Standard Package

At Menō Coffee Cart, our Standard Package starts at $800. That includes:

  • 2 hours of unlimited espresso bar service

  • A professional barista and mobile café setup

  • The capacity to serve up to 100 handcrafted espresso-based drinks (~50 drinks per hour)

  • A full menu of drinks like cappuccinos, americanos, lattes, chai, and more — dairy alternatives included

  • Exceptional hospitality that leaves your guests feeling excited, cared for, and appreciated

That works out to about $8 per drink with our 100 drink capacity.

Now let’s compare that to a common alternative.

The Starbucks Package

Let’s imagine you’re ordering 100 handcrafted 12 oz lattes with milk and flavored syrups (included with every drink in our standard package) from Starbucks. The average price for a 12 oz latte with specialty syrup is about $6 (and often more for oat milk or extra flavoring). For 100 drinks you’re looking at around $600 before the large delivery fee for 100 drinks, tips, or rush charges. When it’s all said and done, it will likely end up costing around $750-$800.

Though their price may seem comparable, here are some of the downsides of delivery coffee:

  • It doesn’t stay hot: By the time drinks are made, packaged, delivered, and passed out, most of your drinks will be lukewarm at best.

  • Iced drinks are watered down: That iced latte they made 30 minutes ago? By the time it arrives, the ice has melted and diluted the drink.

  • Logistics are messy: Coordinating 100 specific drink orders, names on cups, and distribution is a nightmare. Someone is bound to get the wrong drink, or no drink at all.

  • Zero experience: A pile of paper cups dropped off on a table doesn’t add any atmosphere, hospitality, or excitement to your event.

In contrast, a mobile espresso bar creates a café-like experience on-site: drinks are made fresh to order, hot or iced, just the way guests like them. Guests also have the opportunity to go back for second or thirds to try multiple fun menu items. Plus, our hospitality turns the coffee service into a memorable part of your event.

Events Big and Small

One of the biggest advantages of our Houston coffee catering service is flexibility. At Menō Coffee Cart, we serve:

  • Small Events: Intimate gatherings, showers, or small meetings

  • Medium Events: Corporate events, office parties, and school events

  • Large Events: Conferences, expos, trade shows, or weddings with hundreds of guests

Whether you need 30 drinks or 300, we adjust our setup and service to fit your event perfectly.
